Chapter 387 Incident

"That's all for today, stop it!"

Aresio was now in the middle of the two sides, acting as a mediator. He raised his hands high towards Kevin Sean, who was being dragged back by the soldiers.

Kevin Sean's Adam's apple moved, and his cracked lips pursed tightly, as if he was not so willing. He wanted to kill Luka too much, although his dream was shattered the moment the interference came. He limped, and the blood stained his entire leg. He could no longer move. Even if he was unwilling and superficial, he had to accept the reality that he was powerless.

"Let's go." Kevin Sean said to the soldiers beside him in Saxon, and left reluctantly after looking back frequently. This did not mean that they would not come back again. Everyone present understood that this was just a short truce.

Luka endured the pain and got up from the ground. With the help of Andrew, he took off his broken shoulder armor and chain mail. Kevin Sean was really brutal. When he took off the shoulder armor, the broken armor was like small barbs hanging on Luka's bloody wound. The pain was so great that Luka's face turned pale. The wound was bleeding profusely. This was not a trivial matter. Andrew immediately wiped Luka's wound with a cloth. The soldier lit a torch, and Andrew drew out the iron sword and burned the sword red. Luka understood what Andrew meant. He closed his eyes and waited for Andrew to heal his wound.

“Squeak——”

The red sword blade was placed on the bleeding wound, instantly emitting a stream of white smoke, accompanied by a pungent smell of burning. The pain made Luka jump up on the spot. If the soldier hadn't held him down, Luka would have closed his eyes in such pain, and his bitten lower lip even bled.

The soldiers around could not bear to watch such a bloody scene, and they avoided their eyes one after another, not wanting to look at such a cruel scene. Seeing the red blade quickly turn black, Lu Jia did not even cry out in pain.

"Fortunately, I have a good foundation, otherwise I would not have survived until you came." Luca said after calming down, raised his head and looked at Aresio, and asked: "Shouldn't you be in Lundinlum? Why did you come here, especially to stop the war." As he spoke, Luca lowered his head and watched Andrew bandaging him with the cooperation of the accompanying soldiers. The bleeding stopped, but a twisted, ugly wound appeared on the wound.

"Because we were fooled, Luca, and this time it was particularly serious!" Aresio's expression was solemn, and he continued: "The Saxons split into two groups. In the east, they cooperated with the reinforcements that crossed the sea from the Germanic Sea to capture Camlodulum."

Hearing this news, Luca was completely stunned. He raised his head again and looked at Alessio to confirm that this was not a joke. But Alessio nodded slightly as usual, proving that this was not a joke, this was true.

"We must withdraw our forces. Damn it!" Luca realized that he had completely lost control of the war situation. He thought that the Anglo-Saxon coalition led by Kevin Sean would advance in unison. He only needed to build a defense line outside the city of Segantum and take advantage of Kevin Sean's eagerness to replace Adair Great Oak's position and the army's psychology to fight a big war of attrition and annihilation here. However, the loss of control over the army made it difficult for him to continue. Not only did Kevin Sean die, but he himself also suffered serious injuries. It can be said that he hurt the enemy a thousand times and lost eight hundred of his own.

"Luga, what should we do?" Aresio asked Luga.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Before Luca could speak, they heard a hurried shout. Everyone turned around and saw Father Jiang Carlo coming with the monks. Father Jiang Carlo's face was not good. He angrily questioned Luca: "Why, why is it over? God hasn't ordered us to stop. Keep moving forward, seize their weak points and continue to attack!"

Father Jiang Carlo turned around and shouted to the soldiers of the Ninth Legion: "Now, Saint Jesus and his apostles are not satisfied with our bloodshed and sacrifice, because they see that our enemies are escaping intact, which is not what they want to see. Now, I order you to chase and attack the enemy!"

"Forward! Forward!"

The centurions of the Ninth Legion shouted and led the army forward. Father Jiang Carlo's appeal made Andrew, Marenius and Alessio who were present gasp. I'm afraid Jiang Carlo has already ignored Luca. After all, they have already mastered the centurions of the Ninth Legion. Relying on the lower-level officers, they can control the entire Ninth Legion. With a well-organized legion, he can gradually squeeze out Luca's influence, and his intention is particularly obvious.

"Let's see who dares!"

Luca used all his strength to roar at the advancing army, but the centurions did not listen to him at all. The soldiers hesitated, but seeing that their superiors ignored the order, they had to consider following the army and continue to advance. This made Luca feel offended. What was even more hateful was that Father Jiang Carlo actually gave Luca a cold look, which made him extremely angry, but he could not show it on his face.

"Marenius," Luca whispered to Marenius, "Gather the cavalry and block their way."

"Andrew!" Luca turned to Andrew and said, "Order all the troops defending the city to come out. We must do our best to surround the Ninth Legion. I don't believe they will follow Father Jiang Carlo's orders and attack us because of this."

Soon, the cavalry returned to the battlefield, and they quickly surpassed the advancing Ninth Legion and formed a defensive line in front of them, forcing them to stop. It was not until the Saxons withdrew from the battlefield and completely disappeared from their sight that Luca stopped the cavalry.

"What do you mean?" Father Jiang Carlo turned around and glared at Luca. Luca's expression softened a lot. He whispered to Father Jiang Carlo: "Forget it, the army is exhausted."

"But you violated God's will, and soon God will punish you. Who will be responsible? Who!" Father Jiang Carlo yelled at Lu Jia, which made Lu Jia helpless, but he could only smile and apologize. "You are just a small mortal. Anyone can do this position! I am God's messenger. You violated my will, which is against God's will. Do you understand?"

"How about this. In a few days, or even tonight, I will host a banquet for you all, including all the centurions of the Ninth Legion. We will offer sacrifices to the gods together to prove our sins to God, and I will atone for you." Luca smiled and comforted the angry Father Jiang Carlo. There was no other way.

Seeing the highest commander of the army like this, Father Jiang Carlo had to show some mercy in front of the soldiers. However, even so, he still glared at Luca fiercely and said, "You are just a humble mortal." Then he left with the monks.
